The company is called Burnside automotive, a top crowd to deal with.
Tony the solenoid next to the drivers battery (24v system) what's the purpose of that one?

Not sure mate, got a photo of it? I've not worked on 24v Patrols.

Here ya go Tony - thanks mate. I heard from the mechanic its a start solenoid but wanted to know more about it. It was a part causing my truck to stop starting first pop all the time and I would have to wait till the radio came on 10-15secs later for the truck to start.

Without seeing a Safari 24v wiring diagram I'm not 100% sure where that relay/solenoid fits into the starting circuit. On 12v Patrols there is a low current signal wire from the ignition switch start position down to the starter solenoid and the starter solenoid has the high current contacts inside it. It could be that the relay/solenoid in your pics fits inline with the low current signal wire to take the load off the ignition switch.
